Topic: Installed sme-squirrelmail and now i get nothing

[xandersen]

I installed a squirrelmail rpm, and the installation went fine, as far as I could tell, but then when I tried to get my web sites, theres nothing, theres no response from the web server, but i can log in via Putty command line just fine.  I cant get the server manager, phpmyadmin, anything.  is there a way to undo changes made by an rpm?

Any help quick would be greatly appreciated, i have a presentation to make from that server in 12 hours!

Thanks!

you could remove the rpm you installed!

rpm -e nameofrom

Dont add the version number when trying to do a rpm -e

check you httpd.conf file.  Sounds like your folder are not being properly redirected.

Hey xandersen,
did you try restarting apache?

/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

If you need help, please post any errors showing up in the logs.
Good luck

i restarted apache, but still doesnt work

any idea's anyone ??

You will need to create a template fragment for httpd.conf.

Create a file in /etc/e-smith/template-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/ folder.  you may need to create the folder structure if it doesn't allready exist.  Call it 81VirtualMail or what ever you want.

add the following to this file,
<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80>
     ServerName  mail.your.domain
     ServerAlias  mail  servername.your.domain
     DocumentRoot          /home/e-smith/files/ibays/IBAYNAME/html
     ScriptAlias   /cgi-bin  /home/e-smith/files/ibays/IBAYNAME/cgi-bin
     Alias           /files     /home/e-smith/files/ibays/IBAYNAME/files
</VirtualHost>

then run
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

and then for good luck
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

You cand add another virtual host for port 443 if you wish.

This is what I have done, and from outside my network, squirrelmail is accessable by mail.my.domain.  Don't forget to add a dns entry on the internet for mail to point to your SME server.

THT,
